Teriyaki Bowl — Restaurant in Mountlake Terrace

I used to come here a few days every week when I had work near Mountlake Terrace years ago after finding out that they moved from their previous Lynnwood location. My coworker and I were always greeted and served by a nice lady, and her husband was always the guy cooking. They had and still have the excellent spicy chicken and mushroom, and they used to bring it out sizzling on a hot iron skillet, but I don't know if they do that anymore now. Everyone I saw inside was eating out of a takeout box, and I didn't see plates anywhere. They used to give takeout boxes for dining-in only after 12pm, but I was there at 10am and didn't see any plates or platters. The lady at the counter wasn't the nice lady who used to take our orders, and the cook wasn't even Asian, as is the case in the vast majority of restaurants now, even in $300-for-two ones, so I'm not sure what happened there. Maybe new ownership, or they decided to hire employees instead of cooking and working themselves. The dish was still good, but wasn't the same as the dish I had a few years ago. It's too far away from my home and work to stop by now, so this was the only time I've stopped by in years. You'll definitely enjoy the food if you visit after the previous owners stopped cooking it themselves, but if you went there often a few years ago, the food won't be the same. Still worth eating it, as the portions are huge and the prices have only risen by a dollar or so instead of $3-$6 like other places. Every dish is about $15.99, but they have a whiteboard with current chef's specials, and those are $12.99. I only noticed after I already placed the order sadly. I'd recommend you take a look at the whiteboard. Overall, I was very...

We missed the exit to the place we usually go to for chicken teriyaki so we decided to stop here and let me tell you first of all it was quiet, clean, the lady was very nice & respectful. Prompt & fast service. A little more than what we usually spend but that’s okay because shortly after receiving our food we realized why we paid $25 more than usual. Great Portions, Full Of Flavor, and she bagged our to go bag pretty good. She said the wait was 10 mins and she was on her way to my car with it in aprox 7 mins!! Luckily I got to her before she got to me, such a sweetheart!! If I could give 10 stars I would not...

I think this is one of those hidden secrets of Mountlake Terrace....The inside is so clean, I seriously don't think I have ever been in a place this clean. The service was with a smile and very friendly. The food was amazing. I can't tell you how many times I have driven past here and never stopped. Even if your not in the neighborhood you should check it out, it's worth the trip.. I had the Chicken Teriyaki the sauce the meat and the rice was wonderful. They close a little early, so if your going to go for dinner make sure you check the hours and make it before they close. Early to me is 8:30...
